AGI Studio 1 - Week 7 - WIP

Starting with the development of Folio 2, I decided for this week to explore light and different type of materials in a 3D space.

By referencing myself not in the 3D animation field but within 3D modeling, I visualized multiple works where light refraction was explored. The visual aesthetics of those pieces were amazing and very pleasant to watch, so I dived into it and I found another phenomenon directly caused by refraction, called dispersion, which can generate rainbows and separate white light in its entire spectrum.

That is why I carried out a small experiment creating a kind of translucent prisms or simple figures similar to prisms. Rendering on Redshift is a totally different story from the standard renderers that C4D has. Fortunately, it supports refraction and dispersion with ease.

Finally, I wanted to give it an extra detail by exploring glass caustics, which basically are light rays reflected or refracted by an object, normally transparent or translucent.
